I don't want "the man for me" to need me, I want him to want me.

Perhaps the quiz was right at that time. I'm not going to retake the quiz because, well... I just don't the time to. I'd just like to edit this and wipe out all about him. I'm done with him! So, I care for him as a person, but tattoos can be removed, or even a new tattoo can be drawn on top.

I saw the questions...that quiz is silly and meaningless.

I view exs as being a part of your life...both good and bad. There was some reason you were with them to begin with.

Another big factor in play is how often do you see the ex...are you connected forever because of children? have common friends? work in the same place? Hang out at the same places?

Being over your ex has more to do with the why it failed and how it failed and how long the relationships lasted. If it ended it a shock for you like you discovered they cheated is different than you two started srifting apart over the final years of your relationship. If there was little shock value in the breakup and the way it ended then you can easily move on...but if there was high shock then it will take you longer.

With my marriage ended we had drifted apart and had talked about divorce. They way the divorced happened just broke any trust remaining so my recovery was nothing.

I had more problems with a potential relationship that seemed to be going well but ended suddenly by her without questions even answered. It hit me harder than my marriage ending.

My quiz result was: "Compared to What I'm Finding Out There, My Ex was Pretty Great". Well, of course. I wouldn't be with someone who wasn't pretty great.

Stacey,

I like your tattoo analogy. That's an awesome perspective.

Yes, thankfully. And I didn't even need to take the quiz to know it.

The darn witch of a half-woman/half evilness, lyin' emotional-cheater who ruined my early years into adult hood, drove my friends away, and caused me to live a miserable life almost through my college years?

Of course I've gotten over her! I don't even remember anything about her!

Seriously though: As I went through the questions, I know that some of them are geared towards if you had a great ex...and some questions were about whether certain things reminded you of your ex as a sign whether you've moved on or not.

I think that's one of the biggest misconception about 'moving on'....your past relationship will always be a part of you...and if you go to restaurant A, got invited to bar B, etc..etc..of course you remember if you've been there before...the key is whether you romanticize the memory, think about those experiences in a bad way, or affected in any way.

Yes, I know I am over my ex...but still he is father of my child, so how can I throw away the photos...I thought that was one of the ridiculous questions to ask...

I think we need a "Are you over having been done wrong by your ex?" version of this quiz.

My ex left me after 17 years with a note that said, in part, "I wonder if you'll be surprised by this." "Surprised" doesn't even begin to cover it.

I also can't attest to the quality of guy I've dated since, since I'm at the one year, seven month mark and have yet to even attempt dating. I want to be whole again before I get into a place where I might end up in a relationship.

I'm also holding on to the majority of the keepsakes from our romance because I think our son might want to see them some day.

The questions, and a lot of the possible answers, seemed to be based on the assumption that the ex was wonderful, and you are assumed to be pining away after being dumped.

That question about hearing that the ex has been on a date? My first reaction would be "Alright! I hope it works out for him." Not one of the choices.

After 30 years of marriage, there are very few places around here that don't hold an association with the ex. I'm not about to move to a different state; memories are just that, remembrances of the past, and they don't hold any particular fascination for me.

Poor questions, poor possible answers.
